At the risk of repeating (I think I sent this message a few months ago) -

There's two very informal song circles and acoustic jam sessions in southern Florida's gulf coast.

Every Thursday evening from about 6:30 or so till whenever pickers and singers get together in Gilchrist Park in Punta Gorda. Usually two - three groups form - a bluegrass/old-timey group, a singing group of modern folk and popular songs, and sometime an eclectic crew that does a little of everything. All voices and acoustic instruments are welcome.

Every Friday about 7:00 in Centennial Park in Ft Myers a group gets together which is more of a semi-formal song circle. Again - all acoustic pickers, etc are welcome. Song styles range all over with no single defining path. RUS is NOT in evidence. Song picks are left entirely to the discretion of the singer/player.

Hope to see some of you at either or both...
